A VERY RARE CARVED WOOD FIGURE OF GUANYIN
Northern Song/Jin Dynasty
The Goddess of Mercy seated in the posture of rajalilasana or ‘royal
ease’ on a rock and wave base representing Mount Potalaka, leaning
on her left arm with her head inclined to the right, the right hand
holding a loop of drapery, the left foot resting on a small lotus pod,
the serene face with contemplative expression beneath braided hair
centrally parted and dressed in a three-looped top-knot pushed
through a diadem with tresses of hair falling gracefully over each
shoulder, her layered dhoti clinging to the legs and forming deep folds,
adorned with elaborate jewellery, with areas of pigment still visible.
57cm (22 1/2in) high.
